Jeremiah 10:2-6
New International Version
2 This is what the Lord says:
“Do not learn the ways of the nations(A)
or be terrified by signs(B) in the heavens,
though the nations are terrified by them.
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman(C) shapes it with his chisel.(D)
4 They adorn it with silver(E) and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.(F)
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
their idols cannot speak;(G)
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.(H)
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm(I)
nor can they do any good.”(J)
